00:00Taking a look here also at Nellie quarter as the favorite here

00:03She had one of the more unbelievable stretches in Gotham

00:05He mirroring Scottie Sheffler at that point and maybe even better six out of seven wins

00:09But technically struggling as of late entering into the Olympics. Are we worried about the Nellie quarter?

00:16We saw about earlier in the season that was dominating or maybe the Nellie quarter that technically we're getting now over the past month and a

00:21half

00:22Drs. I am very worried in these elite events Nellie has not shown up since she won that six time

00:29They're in Jersey City right near all of us

00:32She went into the US Open with a bad miss cut and then of course

00:36She came right back into a regular season event the Meyer with another miss cut and then another event

00:41She goes to the KPMG women's and she shoots in the 60s in the first round and then she misses the cut

00:46So she has definitely had a lot of question marks around here

00:49She goes over to the Avion which is their fourth major of the year in France and she finishes t26

00:54But she didn't look strong and it the thing that gives me huge pause

00:59About her this week in playing well and defending her gold medal member. She was the gold medal winner in

01:052021 in Japan is her approach game

01:08She's been excellent off the tee and one of the things that's unknown about Nellie is that she has a really really good short game

01:13One of the top five on tour, but her approach game has been off

01:17And as we saw with the guys you miss here

01:20You miss these greens in the wrong spots and it got really challenging really quick and the golf course the way they set it up

01:25The Olympic Golf Committee they did an excellent excellent job a fifth of the field had 20 subpar scores or more for the men

01:33Right, but yet they had a bunch of guys that finished over par. That is a perfect setup for us

01:38So for Nellie, she's gonna have to ratchet down that approach game and get her iron game on target

01:44Nellie court a book from the oddsmakers perspective almost similar to Scottie Scheffler four to one

01:50$5 in front of the rest of the field at the Olympic Women's Golf Tournament

01:55So keep outside of Nellie Korda who are some names to keep an eye on with the odds associated this week over in Paris

02:04Nellie Korda is number one in the world

02:05I'm gonna go with her American counterpart at number two

02:08Lillia Vu when accuracy matters Lillia Vu gets it done in major championships in regular golf tournaments

02:15She's fully healed from her spring injury

02:16She's already won once this year and she's one of the best putters there in the LPGA

02:21so I love her at ten to one or plus a thousand and of course if we're gonna talk accuracy again and on a

02:27Global stage Jin Young Ko at plus 1,400. I love her opportunity as well

02:32You know

02:32She gets a lot of flack because she's not super long off the tee

02:35This golf course is a hundred yards shorter than the one they played last week at the Portland Classic

02:40And that was the Portland Classic guys

02:42They want these ladies to attack this golf course and shoot subpar scores one last one for you Lydia Ko at plus

02:494,000 and that numbers dropping quickly. I'd get on it

02:52She she has two medals to her name in two Olympics and she's going for gold this time to fill out the trifecta
